   The market will be flooded and people are in money crisis so will buy   
   the cheap forgeries and try to resell them as legit... the forged   
   items keep going back into circulation.  As people peruse Ebay and see   
   .99-999.00 for him, they are probably going to buy stuff in the 20-50   
   dollar range thinking they got a real deal because they didn't buy the   
   99 cent stuff.  You know this is true.  But then again, you could have   
   a 999.00 forgery there too.  So best bet is to educate yourself.
